Hi Ladies, Your post are very interesting and I am so glad I found them..
I am in a similar situation with 3 miscarriages (that I know of ) before going to Sher Institute (SIRM) in nj. I've done 2 cycles with PGD (all normal healthy cells) and ICSI.. and a 3rd cycle with no testing, resulting in 15-20 follicles and minium of 5 blasts each time. The last cycle (dec 09) I had a B1 blast and 2 B2 blasts with slight change in meds. ( blasts sis not take... My meds were, Dexamethasone, Lupron, Menapur, follistim, estradial, endometrim, Progesterone injections and now we are planning to do the DQ alpha testing as well as NK cell testing.. It's very costly to do the test and insurance doesn't cover it. ($1030 including shipping) If it's NK cells we will try the IV infusions they recommend and hope for the best, since this is our last oportunity to do IVF I want to the the most aggressive protocol possibly. We can not afford to go any further without insurance help. Each cycle has been about $22 thousand dollars.. (our portion has been a combined 10k out of pocket) My concern is, if there is a protocol to reduce NK cells, and prevent loss from matching genetic markers, will the embryos be healthy?
After 3 cycles at Sher Institute, and no emotional support or suggestions as to how to handle the hormone changes and psychological effect they have on me, I've become extremely depressed and am afraid to continue.. should I keep trying?? what if I do all these medical protocols, and have a baby with abnormalities or genetic problems because it just wans't supposed to happen??. I'm afraid..Is this nature'sway of warning me not to keep trying..

Thx for any support you may have...
